Yeah, some sort of read out. Looked over page for it and it's way too involved for me. :cry:
Wouldn't have the time to do it. Looks great though. One day maybe.

Does it say the fan is on when you have a pit probe attached?

How long would you say it takes to build? I'd love to make one. I have built a cheapo one based on a PID but don't have temp profiling or anything.

Also what would you say the final cost was?

I managed to do 2 boards while drinking and watching the football On Sunday afternoon so wasn't too difficult at all. Once you have built it put it on the pi install the software and away you go. If you have done any electronics before 3 hours total will do It i recon

Erm the final cost was around 100 per controller but that's because of getting stuff from the states. If you can source it here it will be cheaper
